Ningen

The Ningen is a legendary aquatic cryptid described as a massive, pale humanoid figure said to inhabit the waters around Antarctica. First brought to public attention by Japanese research vessel crew members in the late 1990s, the Ningen has since become an international enigma. Reports and alleged sightings now come from Russian scientific expeditions, Chilean and Argentinian trawler crews, and even adventure tourists traveling on Antarctic cruises. Witnesses describe enormous, human-like shapes gliding beneath the ice, with sightings scattered along the Antarctic Circle, the Ningen remains one of the world’s most enduring cryptid mysteries.
